Home again.
The A’s are back in Oakland and coming back on a 2-game win streak. They’ll look to make it three in a row tonight against the visiting Texas Rangers.
Laser Ramon Laureano is back in the lineup after missing the past few games with a hand problem. He’s in the leadoff spot tonight against the lefty Martin Perez, who joined Texas this offseason, where he started his career, and is reaching heights he never had before. It’ll be a tough test tonight, so getting Laureano back should boost the lineup. And after leading off in yesterday’s series finale, Sheldon Neuse slides down the order into the five hole, and playing second base again.
